Tour of Leeds Castle-Dover-Canterbury-Greenwich Thwarted

Had a lovely drive to Leeds Castle and Dover and then the bus broke down as we were leaving Dover. The company could not or would not send us another bus. Our options were wait 2 hours for a technician/mechanic to show up from London or get back to London however we could. Some of our group opted to leave and got a taxi in Dover who would take them to London for 300 pounds. We decided to stay with the bus and 4 hours later, not 2 hours, we were back on the road with the visit to Canterbury and the River cruise at Greenwich cancelled. Our guide Oliver was great and bought us food and snacks while we waited and our driver, Slovak, was kind and patient but it was not an enjoyable trip in the end.

Exceptional All Day Tour

Sylvius, Chala, and Tom were exceptional professionals. Tom’s entertaining and informative presentations added value with historical knowledge without being overwhelming. My grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed our day.
